Quote
There is no shortcut to trust-building. His very avoidance of you is evidence of how desperately he needs you… a trustworthy you. He wouldn’t be uncomfortable around you if you didn’t matter. Ironically, every day that you patiently honor his desire to avoid you, you rebuild trust. Avoiding you is his attempt to protect himself from repeated hurts of the past. Every time you graciously validate his needs, you rebuild an emotional bank account with him. He witnesses irrefutable evidence that his needs are more important to you than your wants. You want to be with him. You want his affection. You want a connection. But rather than demand what you want, he gets to see you willingly put his desire for emotional safety first. Waiting is working. Patience is powerful.Share
